A. fitchi Van Duzee. 



Can. Ent, xxv, 280, 1893. 



This species has much the aspect of Anotia bonnetii but with a 

 shorter head and broader antennae. It is intermediate in its 

 characters between Amalopota and Anotia. It has the same dis- 

 tribution as uhleri and should be found in Connecticut. 



Anotia Fitch. 



As stated by Dr. Fitch the insects of this genus are found in 

 swampy places on willows. 



Key to Species. 



1. Size larger (10 mm.) ; humeral dilations forming erect tongue-like 



processes about as long as the width of the elytra at that point; 

 color whitish with a transverse fuscous band on the basal third 



of the elytra sayi 



Smaller (about 6 mm.) ; humeral dilation narrow, at most ellipti- 

 cal 2 



2. Basal three segments of the abdomen with a dorsal black vitta . . 



burnetii 

 Base of abdomen without a dorsal black vitta 3 



3. Elytra tinged with yellow, marked with an oblique black line near 



the basal third and four blackish spots on the apical margin bonnetii 

 Elytra whitish-hyaline, without a distinct oblique black vitta or 

 four apical spots westwoodi 



A. westwoodi Fitch. 



Trans. N. Y. St. Agr. Soc, xvi, 394, 1856. 



Paler and less clearly marked than the preceding, the elytra 

 without the yellowish tinge and black markings. It has about the 

 same distribution as the preceding and should be found in 

 Connecticut. 

 A. bonnetii Kirby. 



Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., xiii, 21, 1819. 



The four apical spots and oblique vitta seem to be the best 

 characters by which to distinguish this species. It has been 

 reported from Ontario to Georgia. 



Cornwall, 18 July, 1921 (B. H. W.). 

 A. burnetii Fitch. 



Trans. N. Y. St. Agr. Soc, xvi, 395, 1856. 



Still paler and less distinctly marked than the preceding but 

 readily distinguished by the short black stripe on the base of the 

 abdomen. Inhabits the northern states and should occur in 

 Connecticut. 

 A. sayi Ball. 



Can. Ent., xxxiv, 259, 1902. 



Very distinct by its large size and the ligulate appendage near 

 the base of the elytra. It is known only from its type locality near 

 Buffalo, N. Y., but there is no reason why it should not be found 

 in suitable situations in Connecticut.
